    Synt maybe?
    Tbh I think it sounds pretty good on violin!
    Well, I see a difference between nice and good to be honest :P
    I think it sounds good too, but I wouldn't call it nice. It's gritty and rough.
    Something like... Porcelain by R.C.H.P is something I would call *nice* :D

    @Cydoniac, I love the rough NRR NRR NRRRR bits, but the Hommage bit is just a bit too far out there for me too.
    That bit that's all triplets though, love it!

    I was just wondering in the composing paper for music if I have time left at the end (because I usually do!) can I attempt another question?...I know I mightn't have time once I've gone over it etc...but if I did attempt another would they count my best or just the first one they come across...I do the Continuation of a given opening and if I had time left I wanted to do the Setting music to a given text...Help please!=)

    You'd be better off using that time to make sure your continuation is good.


  • Registered Users Posts: 146 ✭✭cabbage kid


    DON'T attempt another question. Just use the available time to correct any mistakes you may have made in your chosen questions.

    I only have one exam left and it's music. Just wonderin how everyone studying it.

    Short answer is, I'm not. :D It's a doss, always was in jc, always was in fifth year and this whole year just gone. I'm going for an A, but I've 2 more classes in school left before the exam. They should easily push me up. ;)

    There are parts of the Piano Quartet I actually like (A, B1) but then there are stupid moments like all Section Cs, the frankly stupid piano solo and the anticlimatic ending, that make it a joke to me.

    Seriously?? The anticlimactic ending is what makes the piece for me! It goes "doo" and then silence, you're waiting for more but it doesn't come, and then you realise that's it, the music got its point across and has nothing more to say. It nicely winds it up after the craziness that happened before the coda.

    Ye I know all that, of course!...
    I was just curious if they would mark both?


  • Registered Users Posts: 146 ✭✭cabbage kid


    I'm pretty sure they'll mark both and pick the best yeah

    Does anyone know where I can get my hands on the listening clips to accompany the papers online? Can't be bothered to buy my own papers 2 days before the exam! :pac: Also, I'm thinking it's Tchaikovsky as the 25 markers and really hoping Ornamentation comes up in the Irish essay.

    Hey, I have no idea how this exam is going to go... I've been practicing the compositions but I have no idea if what I'm doing is good or not :/ Would anyone mind taking a look at a harmony I did to see if I'm making any huge mistakes?

    That really would be the most perfect paper imaginable if that's what comes up.

    I think he just forgot three very important letters.

    IMO


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,116 ✭✭✭Salty


    I think he's right about the composition...you can never tell with the works though, and the Irish music is always random...we'll just have to wait and see on Thursday!

    Barry better be Q1....
    Still have to learn tchai, bach and Irish essays :/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,734 ✭✭✭J_E


    I'd be pretty happy with Barry as No. 1 because the questions are limited in scope.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 494 ✭✭PJelly


    Does anyone have the order of sections in Barry's song? (I know it's stupidly long though) As I just realised that my mother threw out my music copy along with my other copies :(

    Yep!

    A- Inversion of the Irish tune, canon
    B1- Introduction of 'B theme', you know this one.
    C1- Introduction of the atonal 'C theme',
    C2- Variation on C, Viola/Cello
    B2- 3 part canon, played 5 times.
    C3- I always think of this as the chromatic sounding one.
    D1- Irish Air
    D2+B3- Violin/Piano playing D2, Viola/Cello playing B3.
    E1- 4 part canon, no right hand piano.
    C4- The piano solo.
    C5- Three part canon, polyphony here
    E2+D3- Cello and Piano play the same thing.
    C6- Chromatic thing going on here again.
    C7- Sounds like a new section but it's not.
    F+C8- Retrograde and Augmentation here
    C9- The shortest section, high pitch, slower.
    G- Parts of other sections
    H- Irish Air (I think it's from Lord Mayo's Delight?)

    Hope that helps!

    If that was from memory, I applaud you.
    Also, the inverted tune at the start is Sí beag sí mór, in case you didn't know :D.
    Now to make a long dirty sentence to go with all those letters! Thanks!
    Lets see... A brunette can cuddle brown carrots daily..... something something Horseradish!
    Got it!

    From memory? I wish! :P
    I do know it pretty well though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 494 ✭✭PJelly


    I have something scribbled in my Gerald Barry over E1 (in my incredibly bad handwriting) and it looks like "CD2 backwards".
    Is E1 a different section backwards?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7 DylanMannix


    Hey does anyone know in the melody with an anacrusis do you put your dynamics at the start of each line or at the start of each phrase?

    Thanks

    E1 is a retrograde of D:)

    And my sentence is done.
    For the ones with two letters, I picked a word that has both of them in it. Also, Dubarry is a factory near me. Which is why I used it :p
    "All brunettes can cuddle brown carrots daily. Dubarry eats cuddled carrots edaphically. Cool Charizard. F*ck! c***ing green horseradish!"
    That's how my mind works people.
